Dr. Commodore Vikas is truly a man of virtue and compassion. He treats his patients not just as patients, but like members of his own family.
I recently underwent a femur revision surgery under his care. After my accident, I had consulted several doctors in Delhi, Jaipur, and other places, but I was not satisfied with the responses or treatment options I received. I was specifically looking for an expert in complex femur bone surgery, and after receiving strong recommendations for Dr. Vikas, I approached him and requested him to take up my case.
From the very first consultation, he was deeply empathetic towards my pain and genuinely committed to helping me recover. He patiently explored and explained all possible treatment options, including bone grafting, nail exchange, plate addition, and other techniques. He clearly explained the pros and cons of each approach, which gave me a lot of confidence and clarity before making the decision.
Once I was fully comfortable with the treatment plan, he took care of every small detail, from pre-surgery preparation to the surgery itself and post-operative recovery. What impressed me the most is that his involvement did not end after the operation. From the first consultation until today, he has remained constantly in touch, patiently answering questions and explaining every stage of recovery with dedication and humility.
I feel extremely fortunate to have found him for my surgery and treatment. Around 2–3 months after the surgery, my leg already feels stronger and my walking has improved considerably. I am hopeful that, with continued recovery, I will be able to run marathons again someday.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Commodore Vikas to anyone looking for an orthopaedic surgeon in Bengaluru, especially for complex bone or femur-related surgeries. My experience with him has been excellent, not only because of his medical expertise, but also because of the compassion, patience, and personal care he brings to his patients.

I am writing this to share my highest recommendation for Dr (Air Commodore) Vikas Kulshrestha who performed Total Knee Replacement for both knees of my wife.
Due to severe knee pain my wife (70) had difficulty in performing normal day to day activities. We consulted Dr Kulshrestha at Air Force Command Hospital Bangalore who recommended total knee replacement. The doctor and his team explained the procedure in detail and clarified all our doubts. The surgeries were conducted successfully in 2025. Post surgical care including physiotherapy were closely monitored by the doctor and the team.
The skill and expertise of the doctor enabled complete recovery and my wife is back on her feet and able to go about with ease.
I would recommend the doctor for similar care due to his expertise and patient care.
I wish Dr Vikas Kulshrestha the very best in all his endeavours

We first met Dr. Vikas when my brother needed a fairly complicated surgery. From start to finish, he was thorough, careful, and honestly just very reassuring to have around during a stressful time* ** * ******* ** **** **** ** **** ** **** ****** *** what stood out most was how genuine he was - no fuzzy answers, no rush, just honest explanations at every step. He has such a warm approach that you genuinely feel like family, not just another patient.
Since then, I've ended up seeing him myself for a couple of personal injuries and some ongoing muscle pain. He's become my default doctor for anything orthopedic (bone, joints or muscle related), and it's easy to see why. He gets to the root of the issue quickly, explains it clearly, and the treatment he recommends is always practical, never more than what's actually needed *** ************ ****** *** *** **** ********* ** Post consultation follow-ups with him is also very easy and assuring. He has always been just a text away.
If you're dealing with any muscle or bone issues, he's genuinely worth seeing.
I am a doctor serving in the Indian Army, and when it came to my mother's bilateral knee replacement, I wanted nothing less than the best surgical expertise. We consulted
Dr(Air Cdme) Vikas kulshreshtha, and I couldn't be more grateful for his exceptional care. From the initial clinical assessment to the meticulous surgical execution, his orthopedic expertise and decision-making were outstanding.

My wife, Anita aged 76, was suffering from acute osteoarthritis. She could barely walk with the help of walking stick because of the acute pain in both her knees. Dr Kulshreshtha operated her for knee replacement on both the legs and took excellent postoperative care. Thanks to him, she has now been able to walk comfortably without any support for the past 2 years. I highly recommend him for joint mobilisation treatment.
My mother 84 years old underwent both knee replacement… and believe me complete operation went by the book. Today my mother is able to walk.
Excellent doctor who is thorough professional and cheerful and god gifted.
Every day my mother bless Dr. ( Air Cmde ) Vikas Kulshretra.
A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Kulshrestha for taking such good care of my fractured left wrist - and for giving me a rather impressive titanium upgrade! *
I flew in from Singapore on the 11th of Aug, had my appointment the next morning, was operated for close to 2 hours on at Manipal Hospital, Sarjapur, on the 13th morning given it was an unstable fracture, and discharged the following day. The whole process was remarkably smooth.
What stood out was not just the surgery itself, which went extremely well, but how accessible and clear he was throughout the follow-ups. His instructions on medication and physiotherapy were precise, practical and reassuring - nothing excessive, just exactly what was needed. And his bedside manner was wonderfully no-nonsense! *
Thank you, Dr. Kulshrestha, for putting my wrist back together so beautifully.
